*Ducks flying objects* don't hate! Just read, it'll get better. Oh, fun with Duo. :D
Chapter 2: Dinner and Japanese
"Usagi, dinners ready," Janet said from the kitchen.
"Okay!" Usagi called back just as someone knocked on the door.
"Can you get that, Usa?"
"Hai," Usagi walked to the front door and greeted the guests with a bright smile. "Hey, Quatre!" She said, then peering behind the blonde she saw the brown haired boy from before, "Duo?"
"Hey there Usagi!" Duo said with another cheerful smile.
"Usagi, this is Duo...as you know already, I see. The Chinese boy is Wufei, the tall one is Trowa, and the quite one is Hiiro." Quatre said.
"Come on in, all of you." Usagi said with a smile. All the boys walked inside and Janet greeted them all when they got to the dining room.
"Hey there, guys." Said the woman as she and Usagi set the food on the table. All of them said their hellos and soon everyone was dishing out food onto their plates...Duo's containing the most. Soon the phone rang and Janet went to answer it.
"I'm so sorry, everyone. But that was the Smith farm, they need me out there right away."
"It's okay, Aunt Janet. I'll clean up after we're done." Usagi said with a smile. Her aunt was a veterinarian and was always on call.
"Thanks, Usa." Janet said as she walked out the front door towards her truck. After she left there was an uncomfortable silence.
"So, Usagi, why'd you leave Tokyo?" Duo asked.
"I needed to get away from some certain things." Usagi replied with her head down.
"What? A crappy boyfriend?" Duo asked a question so harmless, yet it stung even the deepest of nerves in Usagis' body. When she failed to answer, Duo opened his mouth to ask again, but received a swift, hard kick under the table.
"That hurt!" He yelped, rubbing his calf.
"What hurt?" Usagi asked, looking up at the boy with confused eyes.
"Um...nothing." He replied as he kicked Hiiro back. Hiiro gave him his famous death glare which made Usagi burst out laughing. Everyone looked at her in confusion.
"What's so funny, onna?" Wufei asked.
Usagi instantly stopped laughing and glared a glare worse then Hiiros, "don't ever call me onna unless you have a death wish." Wufei gulped and nodded. "Good." Usagi said with a smile.
Wufei muttered something in Chinese under his breath and then continued eating.
"So, Usagi, was it a bad boy-damn it Hiiro that hurts!" He yelped again as Hiiro kicked him.
"Hiiro, leave him alone, he's not worth it. He can't even keep a horse under control." Usagi said to the boy with intense Prussian blue eyes in her native Japanese.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Hiiro replied in Japanese.
"I had to tell him how to stop the run a way horse he was on today. But don't tell him I told you." Usagi replied. Everyone looked at the two confused.
"Hey, you two mind talking in a language that we can all understand?" Duo said. This time Usagi gave his leg a kick. "Ouch! Hiiro!"
"It wasn't Hiiro, it was me." Usagi said with a sly grin.
"You are very weird." Hiiro muttered in Japanese.
"Arigatoo!" Said the bubbly blonde. This caused Hiiro to give her a confused look, but only with his eyes, his face remained expressionless.
The remainder of the dinner went well, they kept away from the whole 'boyfriend' topic... actually they stayed away from Tokyo in general. When Usagi was cleaning up, Hiiro came to help...but under much protest. Soon he started up a conversation in Japanese. (Yeah, right like that would ever happen)
"Nande?" Hiiro asked.
"Nan desuka?" Usagi replied, confused at why he was asking her why.
"Why did you leave Tokyo?" Hiiro said.
"Oh. Because of personal reasons." She replied.
"Don't tell me the baka was right about your boyfriend."
Usagi visibly winced, "he was, and he wasn't. See, someone told me that I could make my own destiny... be whatever I wanted to be. If I had stayed with Mamoru, my ex-boyfriend, I would have become something that was already predestined for me. When I tried to prove to my friends that I wasn't a klutzy, whiny crybaby...they... well, they laughed at me. I only acted that way because it was how I was supposed to act. My whole life was predestined and I changed it when I dumped Mamoru."
Hiiro didn't understand how this bubbly girl could have such horrible things happen to her, see seemed to nice and innocent.
"Hiiro, have you heard of the super heroine, Sailor Moon?" Usagi asked out of the blue.
"Hai, why?" Hiiro replied.
"What would you think if I told you that I was her?" Usagi asked as she washed a plate.
"That you have an active imagination. Sailor Moon has odangos, you don't." Hiiro replied, "plus, she's the only one in the world that can put her hair up like that anyways."
"You mean like this?" Usagi asked as she put her hair up into her odangos quickly.
Hiiro looked at her, shocked. He cursed lightly under his breath and asked, "are you seriously her?"
"Hai. Or at least I was."
"Prove it." Hiiro said, obviously still not believing her.
"Okay," the blonde leaned forward, putting her forehead on his and soon all of Usagi's memories, starting from the Moon Kingdom and ending with the Final Battle with Galaxia flashed threw Hiiros mind.
"Why would you sacrifice yourself so many times for someone who you didn't love?" Hiiro asked as he grabbed a plate to dry.
"Because I thought that maybe I could muster up some type of feelings for him. But I guess it didn't work."
The two worked in silence for the rest of the duration of the dishes until they were finished.
Usagi walked out into the living room to look for the guys, but they were no where to be found. "Where'd the guys go?" She asked Hiiro.
"Probably to the pastures to bring in the horses." Was Hiiros reply.
"Oh. Thanks for the help." Usagi commented as she tied her boots back on.
"Where are you going?"
"To the barn, I want to check up on Sandy." Usagi stood up and walked out the door with Hiiro following her. She pushed the barn door open and walked down to Sandy's stall. "Hey, Sandy. How you doing?" She asked as she unlatched the door and walked inside. Sandy snorted as Usagi ran her hands down her forelegs and back legs.
"Any heat?"
"Iie. If there was, I think I would kill Duo." Usagi said as she walked out of the stall again.
"Why do you care about horses so much?" Hiiro asked. He was a lot more talkative once he has someone to talk to in Japanese.
"Helios... whenever I see a horse it reminds me of him and what he did to save me and Chibi-Usa." Usagi replied as she thought of the Pegasus that saved her that day.
"Hey, Usagi!" Janet said as she pulled up to the house.
"Hey, Aunt Janet. What was going on at the Smith farm?" Usagi asked her aunt.
"Just a very difficult delivery. Cows are always difficult." She said with a tired sigh.
"Why don't you go to bed. I'll make sure that all the horses are inside. Hiiro will help, too. Won't you Hiiro?"
"Sure." Was his monotone reply.
"Thanks, see you in the morning, Usa." She said as she kissed her nieces cheek and walked into the house yawning.
"Shall we." Usagi said motioning towards the barns that they would check before they went to bed.
"Hai."
They went threw the three barns and checked to see if each stalls occupant had fresh water and hay. When that was all done, Usagi sleepily walked back up to the house.
"See you tomorrow, Hiiro." She said, covering up a yawn, "thanks again for the help." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and smiled. "Oyasumi nasai." Usagi said as she walked in the door.
"Oyasumi nasai." Replied the momentarily stunned Hiiro.
Lol, a stunned Hiiro, I'd love to see that! :D Review, onegai!
